I'm having issues with file handles stored as a scalar element within a anonymous hash. Example #1 below is a working beginning point and has a scalar $fh holding the opened file handle... It works, no problem.
EXAMPLE #1 
use strict;

MAIN: {
    my $fh;
    open($fh, ">hdt.html") or die("Unable to open output file!");
    my $title = 'MY TTILE';
    print $fh <<EOF;
<html>
  <head>
    <title>$title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    Blah, Blah...
  </body>
</html>
EOF
    close $fh;
}

Example #2 below now opens the file handle into a scalar value of an anonymous hash referenced by $args...
EXAMPLE #2 
use strict;

MAIN: {
    my $args = {};
    open($args->{fh}, ">hdt.html") or die("Unable to open output file!
+");
    my $title = 'MY TTILE';
    print $args->{fh} <<EOF;
<html>
  <head>
    <title>$title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    Blah, Blah...
  </body>
</html>
EOF
    close $fh;
}

And the following compile time error results!
D:\Development\Perl\HereDocTest>hdt2.pl<br>
Scalar found where operator expected at D:\Development\Perl\HereDocTes
+t\hdt2.pl line 10, near "<title>$title"<br>
        (Missing operator before $title?)<br>

BUT WHY DOES print screw up on $args->{fh} ????


Example #3 shows the work around I've been using.
EXAMPLE #3 
use strict;

MAIN: {
    my $args = {};
    open($args->{fh}, ">hdt.html") or die("Unable to open output file!
+");
    my $title = 'MY TTILE';
    my $fh = $args->{fh};
    print $fh <<EOF;
<html>
  <head>
    <title>$title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    Blah, Blah...
  </body>
</html>
EOF
    close $fh;
}

This is not a major issue, but I've tried: 
    print ($args->{fh}) <<EOF;
    print +$args->{fh} <<EOF;
    print +($args->{fh}) <<EOF;

And nothing results in differing errors. The behavior here is consistent using either UNIX & Win32 Perls. TIA, MJD
